<p>Hey everyone, totally random question.</p>
<p>So, due to inspiration from <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="326176">@Boxy</span>  and <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="220273">@Jane Lusby</span>, I am creating <a href="http://areweyeetyet.rs">areweyeetyet.rs</a> (not up yet). I am trying to add a small timeline of events on the page, anyone know the origins of the idea / want to help add some key events?</p>

<p>Having spent some time with my kids explaining that slang terms are inappropriate jargon for the professional or academic workplace, and belaboring the point that the word "throw" already exists and encapsulates essentially the same meaning (hence negating the very necessity of its existence!), I find myself thinking that <code>yeet</code> is a four letter word, and a more efficient keyword than <code>throw</code>.  Have I lost my mind?</p>

<p>I always find it funny that we have <code>Ok</code> in the std. I had it drilled into me for <strong>years</strong>, that it was insolent to use that slang spelling. The word is spelled "Okay", spelling it as "Ok" is just a way to make fun of your teachers for claiming that "you can sound out words". I don't want to know how many times I have bean publicly corrected for that. So, what is slang is entirely context depended. What is inappropriate forms of speech/spelling is entirely context depended. Who decides what is slang and inappropriate is entirely a political question. ( Thanks for coming to my ted talk. )</p>
